Soul Beast Forest Training

After leaving Notting Academy, Wang Feng first returned to Wang Family Village. He met with the village chief, left Old Wang with some of the gold coins he had saved over the years, then departed for a nearby wild Soul Beast Forest.

Although he was quite strong now and possessed formidable offensive power, his actual combat ability was still somewhat lacking. He planned to spend a year fighting in the wild Soul Beast Forest to improve his real combat experience.

Besides, training his body while fighting would allow him to improve much faster.

Half a month later, Wang Feng arrived at a Soul Beast Forest not far from the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Not long after entering the forest, a ferocious Mottled Tiger with nine rings of mottled markings on its body suddenly sprang out. It stared at Wang Feng, drool streaming from its mouth.

"Hah, a nine-hundred-year-old Mottled Tiger. Don't tell me it took me for lunch?"

The next second, the Mottled Tiger proved it with its actions. With a roar, it bared its bloodthirsty claws and pounced at Wang Feng, fangs flashing as it tried to tear into him.

"Courting death."

"Second Soul Skill: Binding Halo."

His Spirit Ring lit up, and green light appeared at Wang Feng's fingertips. After spinning once, it shot forth at his gesture toward the Mottled Tiger, instantly forming a halo that tightly bound it.

Wang Feng's second Soul Skill, Binding Halo, was a control-type Soul Skill that could form a halo to restrain enemies.

"Roar!!!"

The bound Mottled Tiger roared and struggled without end, yet it still could not break free from the halo's restraint.

"First Soul Skill, Green Light Sword Rain."

The next second, several green longswords shot toward the Mottled Tiger, piercing it full of holes and killing it beyond doubt. Immediately afterward, a yellow Spirit Ring rose from its corpse.

After the tiger incident passed, Wang Feng continued deeper into the forest.

He wanted to find powerful Spirit Beasts to fight, tempering his body. The stronger his physique became, the greater the age of Spirit Rings he could withstand.

As for whether he might encounter a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast capable of instantly killing him, that was not within his considerations.

Even if he did encounter one and could not defeat it, he was still confident that he could escape with the speed of his Green Light.

A year quietly passed after he entered the Soul Beast Forest to fight.

At this moment, within a wild Soul Beast Forest.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Explosions rang out one after another.

"Hmph, come again. Let's see how I take you down."

Wang Feng looked at the huge Black Wolf before him and flashed forward again, green light bursting from his fist as it struck directly toward the wolf's head.

"Roar!!"

The Black Wolf roared furiously, opening its bloody maw as it fired a ray of black light at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng dodged aside, evading the black light while bringing his fist down hard upon the wolf's head.

Boom!

Struck by the blow, the Black Wolf crashed to the ground, blood gushing out.

Seeing the Black Wolf trying to struggle back up, Wang Feng summoned a green longsword into his hand and fiercely drove it into the wolf's body.

With its vital point pierced, the Black Wolf let out a choked whimper and convulsed for a moment before dying completely. Right afterward, a purple Spirit Ring rose from the Black Wolf's corpse.

"Whew... Spirit Beasts over a thousand years old really are powerful."

Looking at the Black Wolf's corpse, Wang Feng sighed.

Over the past year, he had encountered many thousand-year Spirit Beasts. However, in order to temper his body, he had always wrapped his fists in Soul Power and fought them barehanded, using the Soul Power Body Tempering method he had created. Yet this Black Wolf had actually forced him to use a Soul Skill. Its strength truly was formidable.

As Wang Feng dealt with part of the Black Wolf's corpse, built a bonfire, and roasted wolf meat, he thought of Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"A year has passed now. My Soul Power Level has already reached twenty-nine, and it won't be long before I break through to level thirty. Tang San and the others should be heading to Shrek Academy by now, right?"

"The plot is moving quickly. Looks like I need to join an advanced academy as well."

He would definitely participate in the Soul Master Tournament. Only by doing so could he display his abilities and draw that person's attention.

Although joining a Soul Master Academy would not teach him much, making more beautiful female friends would not be bad either.

"Which academy should I join?"

Shrek Academy was the first one Wang Feng crossed off the list.

Just thinking of Yu Xiaogang made Shrek Academy unworthy of his consideration.

Skywater Academy seemed pretty good. Its students were all beautiful, and most importantly, they were pleasing to the eye.

However, they seemed to accept only women, so that probably would not work.

Hmm, he wondered whether their dean was a woman. If their dean was a man, that would be incredible!

After thinking it over, Wang Feng ultimately decided to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although they did not accept commoners and only admitted nobles, he should be able to give it a try with his strength and talent.

"Alright, it's decided. I'll see whether I can join Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Having made up his mind, Wang Feng packed up and left the Soul Beast Forest.

At this time, inside Yu Xiaogang's dormitory at Notting Academy.

"How could this be? Why, after experimenting for a year, have I still been unable to create even a single Self-Created Soul Skill? Could it be an issue with my talent? That should be impossible."

Ever since Wang Feng had displayed his powerful Self-Created Soul Skill a year ago, Yu Xiaogang had constantly wanted to create a Soul Skill of his own. Unfortunately, every attempt had failed.

"If I could obtain Wang Feng's experience in creating Soul Skills, then summarize it through my own research, I could definitely succeed. What a pity."

Thinking of Wang Feng, who had already left, Yu Xiaogang could not help feeling regretful.

Knock knock!!

A knock sounded at the door.

"It's Xiao San, isn't it? Come in," Yu Xiaogang said calmly.

"Teacher."

"Master."

Tang San and Xiao Wu entered together.

The two twelve-year-olds were now exactly the same in height and appearance as they were in the anime.

"You're here. Sit down first."

After sitting down, Tang San asked, "Teacher, did you call us here for something?"

"Yes, indeed. It concerns where you will study after graduation."

"You two are about to graduate. Afterward, I hope you will attend an intermediate Soul Master Academy called Shrek Academy!"

When Shrek Academy was mentioned, Yu Xiaogang's face filled with reminiscence. He wondered whether Flender would still recognize him if he saw him like this.

"Shrek Academy? Why have I never heard of this academy?"

Hearing the Master's words, Tang San looked puzzled.

"Exactly, Master. I haven't heard of it either." Xiao Wu had previously discussed their choices for intermediate academies with Tang San, but she truly did not know what Shrek Academy was.

"This academy is indeed not well-known at present, but it is far from simple. Its dean is one of my closest friends, and he is also a powerful Soul Sage."

"Soul Sage!!"

Tang San and Xiao Wu were instantly shocked.

A Soul Sage was actually the dean. Such an academy should not be bad.

"Moreover, let me tell you this: one of Shrek Academy's most basic admission requirements is that applicants must not be over twelve years old and must have reached at least level twenty in Soul Power!"

"Twelve years old, level twenty!"

Tang San and Xiao Wu were both somewhat astonished. They had never heard of an academy with such harsh admission requirements. Moreover, its dean was a powerful Soul Sage. At once, Tang San became deeply curious about Shrek Academy.

"Teacher, when will we go?"

"There is nothing more for you to gain at Notting Academy now. I will speak with the dean, and tomorrow, you and Xiao Wu can leave. After you arrive, I will go there myself after some time."

"Yes, Teacher."

Hearing Tang San's reply, Yu Xiaogang looked at him with satisfaction. How could he not like such an obedient and excellent disciple?
